The duration of the project is 18 month starting from its inception date in 2020 (20th October 2020), with KAPABEL as an Executing Entity (EE) that responsible for the implementation of activities as elaborated within the project document. This report describes the initial activities and improvements to the project design, Climate Change Adaptation with the theme Communiry Adaptation for Forest-Food Based Management in Saddang Watersheed Ecosystem, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. At the implementing level, Konsorsium Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan Lingkungan (KAPABEL / Consortium for Adaptation to Climate Change and Environment) is the first Executing Entity (EE) in Indonesia that meets the criteria of the Adaptation Fund Board with USD 835.465 funds to be managed. This project aims to increase the driving force for food security of the people living in the Saddang Watershed (DAS) Ecosystem as an effort to adapt to climate change and the environment which focuses on: 1) Strengthening Social Forestry to encourage forest food in Upstream of Saddang watershed, which has implications for environmental improvement and increasing community income. 2) Improving coastal governance and carrying capacity to support climate change adaptation in Downstream of Saddang Watershed. 3) Strengthening system and institutional capacity to ensuring the sustainability of climate change adaptation. 4) Capacity building and stakeholder support on climate change adaptation through knowledge management and dissemination. This project consists of 4 (four) components in achieving 7 (seven) outcomes as follows: Component 1. Strengthening Social Forestry to encourage forest food in Upstream of Saddang watershed Outcome 1.1. Increased extent of the Social Forestry scheme covering an area of 5.000 ha in Upstream of Saddang Watershed Outcome 1.2. Strengthened actors and institution of Social Forestry schemes in support of climate change adaptation Outcome 1.3. Availability of forest food products that are ready for sale by social forestry groups/communities Component 2. Improved coastal governance and carrying capacity to support climate change adaptation in Downstream Saddang watershed Outcome 2.1. Strengthened coastal human resources and natural resources in Downstream of Saddang Watershed to increase coastal carrying capacity Outcome 2.2. Increased community income in Downstream of Saddang Watershed through eco friendly-based creative businesses and food diversification Component 3. Strengthening systems and institutional capacities to reduce socio- economic and environmental risks due to climate change Outcome 3.1. Strengthened cross-cutting policies in ensuring the sustainability of climate change adaptation Component 4. Strengthening capacity and support of the parties through knowledge management pg. 4 of 54 Outcome 4.1. Strengthened stakeholder capacity and understanding through the process of dissemination and early warning system for climate change adaptation I. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of the Project Community Adaptation for Forest-Food Based Management in Saddang Watershed Ecosystem Project in South Sulawesi, Indonesia is being implemented by Kemitraan (The Partnership for Governance Reform) as the National Implementing Entity (NIE) and the Konsorsium Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan Lingkungan (KAPABEL / Consortium for Adaptation to Climate Change and Environment) as the Executing Entity in Indonesia. Project proposals to grantee i.e. Adaptation Fund, began in 2016, with a total of USD 835.465 proposed project cost. This project is planned to start in early 2020, but due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 which has hit the world, including in Indonesia, the implementation of this project must be postponed. The project implementation period is planned for 18 months, starting from the implementation of the Inception Workshop in October 2020 and ending in April 2022. This Inception Report describes the initial activities and improvements to the project design. The changes identified in this report can be taken into consideration for changes to the project design. Climate change impact in Indonesia has begun to be seen by decreased of function and carrying capacity of watersheds (DAS) which has implications for increased disasters in watershed ecosystems. The increase in disasters that occurs has a wider impact on people's lives, especially the resilience of food security. Based on the 2015-2019 Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the Saddang Watershed is one of the “Priority Watershed in Indonesia”. Saddang Watershed with 661.932 ha total area is the 2nd largest watershed in South Sulawesi that runs through four districts in South Sulawesi Province and a few parts of West Sulawesi Province. That extent of watershed is currently used by approximately 1 million people who depend their livelihood on available resources from watershed ecosystem. However, there is environmental degradation in the Saddang watershed area that can be seen from the disaster data in South Sulawesi in 2010-2019 that recorded 3.814 incidents which caused 70 people died and dozens of people disappeared. Economic losses due to disasters until 2019 reached IDR 80,46 Trillion. Adaptation Fund as an international institution that represents the parties involved in the Kyoto Protocol, provides funding for Climate Change Adaptation activities around the world. Kemitraan (The Partnership for Governance Reform) has become an institution designated as the National Implementing Entity (NIE) in Indonesia which is given the responsibility to initiate climate change adaptation programs in Indonesia. Kemitraan (The Partnership for Governance Reform) opens up opportunities for all Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Indonesia to take part as Executing Entities (EE) in various parts of Indonesia, including in South Sulawesi. Konsorsium Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim dan Lingkungan (KAPABEL / Consortium for Adaptation to Climate Change and Environment), which consists of Yayasan Tim Layanan Kehutanan Masyarakat (TLKM / Communiversity for Sustainable Forest Foundation), Yayasan Alumni Kehutanan Unhas (YAKU / Hasanuddin University Alumni of Forestry Foundation), National
